Dhana Blissett, Nutritionist at Skyland Trail RTC in Atlanta Georgia joined Lon on August 1, 2014 to explain the pilot program they are starting called Healthy Challenge. The students at Skyland Trail are enrolled there for treatment for fairly serious mental health issues. Virtually all the students are on medications and since all medications have side effects that can be harmful, Skyland Trail established the Healthy Challenge pilot program to counteract these side effects in a holistic way. The program is voluntary, but the positive preliminary results are convincing the staff to encourage all their students to be on this program eventually. Healthy Challenge has three elements: 1.) strict attention to their diet. 2.) some form of physical activity. That includes them wearing an activity meter measuring the steps they take in a day and each student has a pre-set goal of the number of steps they need to take. And, 3.) a weekly psychoeducational session on topics such as obstacles to adequate physical activity or how to eat healthy while living a normal active lifestyle.

CIRCA 2015...More WOMEN are on psychiatric medications than ever before and staying on them far longer than was ever intended. Sales of anti-depressants and ant--axiety meds have been booming in the past two decades, and they've been recently outpaced by anti-psychotic drugs, this quote from a psychiatrist..."I must tell you this is INSANE!"

Women are moody (that's debatable)...by evolutionary design, we are hard-wired to be sensitive to our environments, empathic to our children's needs and intuitive of our partners' intentions. Women's emotionality is a sign of health, not disease, it is a source of POWER-OUCH!

Today I’m welcoming Su Robotti, president/founder of MedShadow (www.medshadow.org), who will share her personal story about becoming a patient advocate and the work of MedShadow.
